For anyone that moved to the US a bit later in life (early 30s), do you feel like you are financially behind retirement now by United States standards?

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.

Hey, would really like some advice here.

Recently graduated and am looking for full time roles. I've had four different internships, the last two in tech, and I've been doing marketing, specifically Product Marketing and looking for full time roles there. I was recently offered a role as a Product Marketing Associate - the team members sound great and responsibilities sound really up my alley, but they are locked in at 50k. I understand I'm a new grad and all, but is this a low-ball offer?

I’m looking to expand my font collection, but I don’t have an exorbitant budget. I saw a post here where people said they had collections of 1000+ fonts—someone had 14k, lol. Where do you guys look for fonts? I have Adobe fonts and use Google fonts and Future fonts, but are there other resources for reasonably priced fonts that don’t break the bank? How much do you tend to spend?

Hey ladies!
Curious how you would handle this. I got someone close to me a director role at my company. I pulled alot of strings to make this happen. I’m on my way out and would love an opportunity at her current company but the best they can do is tell me to apply and see how that goes. How would you process this? Is it business as usual or you’d feel hurt. I go hard for my loved ones but when it comes to me it’s… meh you’re on your own and good luck!

I think my brother is an idiot when it comes to his dating life.

From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead
